Stig Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I don't know, but I'll bet you could find someone who does at http://www.agileguitarforum.com. TWANG might know. He's a member over there, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwillow777 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I'm pretty sure they do. Someone on the Agile forum said the that pup rings from Stewmac fit Agiles. I need to get a set of straight black ones for an Agile Hawker that I just bought. I bought a set of rings from Rondo when I got my guitar, but they were carved. I got a set of AllParts rings at the guitar shop, but they didn't match perfectly. I got them on, but one of the pickups is a little crooked. I think I may try a set from Stemac too. You can always send them back, they are good about returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I found these http://store.guitarfetish.com/pagoplbrpiri.html and from the description it sounds like they can easily be bent to fit... doesn't sound like a product I could return though...

You can return them, you just have to pay shipping, which really isn't worth it for what you are buying. All the rings I've gotten from GFS have fit my Agiles and Epis perfectly.

If you want to mount Q-tuners in the AS1000, you may have some custom work to do. The standard humbucker p_up rings will probably not fit these slightly oversize p_ups. If you go to their (Q-tuners)gallery, you will see that most of the customs shown are directly mounted onto the solid body with 4 screws. The GL 6 appears to have a adjustable mount for the humbucker height adjustment, but the picture shown with one mounted shows a custom wooden p_up ring expressly made for it and the guitar.

Ricochet Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 The GL-6 is standard humbucker-sized and takes standard PU-rings. The custom made humbucker-ring in the pic is purely estheticly motivated. The GL-6 DM model is d-irect m-ounted with 4 screws in the corners and comes slightly oversized.

Would one of those direct mount pickups use the same screw holes as a regular pickup ring? I suppose i shouldn't bother asking though... it's flat on the bottom, so it'd probably be best to use a regular gl-6 with an archtop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricochet Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Would one of those direct mount pickups use the same screw holes as a regular pickup ring? No, the whole GL6 DM PU routing just about rids the old humbucker screwholes. The new screwholes fall inside. Hope that makes sense. Here's the technical drawing if you want to make sure: http://www.q-tuner.com/sizes/GL%20direct%20mount%20dims.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
